Prof. Huang Xinyan, Associate Professor in the Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE) at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, has been awarded research funding under the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the National Science Centre (NCN) of Poland Cooperation Research Programme.
Project Title: Fire dynamics of high-power electrical network and multi-scale smart risk evaluation model for new-energy buildings
新能源建築高能量電網火災動力學及多尺度智慧預測模型研究
Principal Investigator: Prof. Huang Xinyan, Associate Professor
Amount Awarded: RMB 1,500,000
Project Overview:
New-energy buildings introduce an indoor high-energy electrical network that uses a tremendous amount of high-power cables to link the power generation system, energy storage system and fast charging/discharging system, posing significant fire risks and complex fire behaviours. This international collaborative research will conduct fundamental research on the fire dynamics of high-power cables and relevant cable fire events in new-energy buildings all around the world, develop AI-powered fire models to evaluate and mitigate these fire risks, and propose a new scientific framework to guide the overall fire safety design strategies for new-energy buildings.
We congratulate Prof. Huang on this outstanding achievement and look forward to the project’s impactful outcomes.
